The intricate work required patience, and at times, they felt like it would never end. We reassured them that great art takes time; it’s never done in a day. With determination, they carefully studied perspective, shading, and optical effects, experimenting with ways to trick the eye.

With patience and perseverance, they carefully observed and experimented with perspective, shading, and optical effects to recreate illusions that challenge perception. Each piece reflects not only their creativity but also their growing understanding of how art can trick the eye and play with depth, light, and angles.
